Theatre Simpson is sponsoring a new playwriting contest. We are looking for new short plays with a focus on Interfaith and Religious Diversity for our Festival of Short Plays 2019.
Theatre Simpson annually produces a Festival of Short Plays based around a topic or playwright. This year, and for the second time since 2017, we are focusing on new plays. The festival is a student-produced project developed in the Senior Theatre Seminar course. Working collaboratively, the students will choose the plays, direct, design, and perform.
